Static guard is a must!! And a JAR OF PICKLES!! It is always good to have the entire bridal party eat a pickle before the ceremony because it helps the blood circulate better to prevent anyone from fainting!

I would also add a Bible, straws, tide-to go sticks, anti-allergy pills, condoms and tea bags. You would be amazed at how many times I've had to use these items in my kit.

In terms of how often to change my stuff; at least every 6 months unless it has an expiry date listed on the original container.

**When dispensing the medication items, I don't personally hand it to anyone! I place it on the table and let them take it from there; saves from there being misdiagnosis and other legal issues that can happen if folks have a reaction.**

I blogged (http://sweetido.blogspot.com/2010/04/planners-little-helpers.html) about just this topic, after surveying my fellow wedding professionals. They really do include everything and the kitchen sink! My latest addition - coloring books, crayons, cars and dolls.

Not sure if I saw this, but a bag of disposable gloves. A lot of time in emergencies you are dealing with blood. I recently had a grandmother who had a port removed out of her arm and I had to pull out my first aid kit from my "Emergency Kit" - cotton balls, large guaze bandages, latex gloves, wet wipes and hairspray were items that I had to use to stop the bleeding and get the blood out of her dress coverup. Needless to say the Mother of the Bride was pretty impressed. :)

Like the chalk idea.....never knew that!
